Watches are round, generally – it’s what we’re taught as children and we accept it when we’re older.  Digital watches may have added “Oh, and sometimes just a number” but never have I seen a watch like a valve gauge!  It’s perfectly wonderful, from the 1900’s and with a beautifully engraved outer as well as a cogtastic interior.  Seen over at the Watchismo Times (for unusual watches) and apparently from Bogoff where it was for sale (thankfully – I don’t know for how much).  I’d very much like to see one that took the similarities with a pressure or volt meter/guage and really emphasised that – it’d be so amusing to take out of a pocket on a chain!  “Why yes I do have the time – it’s 20 past 5 p.s.i.”  Thank you very much, Robert of Neon Poisoning!
